American visitors who have beei making motor tours through Englam during the last two summers hav seen at surprisingly frequent inter vals groups of sturdy boys dressed ii an adaptation of frontier costum marching along the hedge-borderei highlands or camped under the shad of some wayside grove. On a schoc holiday in London. Manchester, Liver pool and other large centres thes same groups, under the commandv o an elder lad, could be seen makin; their way on foot or by tram towari the suburbs or parks with an ai that seemed to say that they ha serious and interesting work befor them?work and play combinedfor they were the already famous Bo Scouts organized two and a half year ago by General Sir R. S. Baden Powell. Baden-Powell, it will be re membered, is that same doughty sol dier who held Mafeking against over whelming odds in the South Africa War, and who distinguished himsel in other ways, until in the last de cade he has become one of Grea Britain's popular heroes, classed wit Earl Roberts and Lord Kitchener. Intensely patriotic and believin firmly that the future of his countr depends on the type of young men i produces, he founded the Boy Scout as a practical school of manliness i which love of God and countrj courtesy, courage and a sense of tru honor should be inculcated. The ide took at once with the public, an there are now enrolled in Grea Britain over 400,000 Boy Scouts, wh have taken the Scout's pledge, an who are manfully trying to live u to the high ideals taught in th Scout law. Some time ago twent thousand Scouts assembled in Lor don and under command of their sr perior officer marched through th streets while the cheering crowd gave ample evidence of the stron hold the new movement has on th public mind. Now Canada has bee swept with a similar wave of er thusiasm and the Boy Scouts ar there numbered by the thousands Here in the United States patrols hav been formed from Massechusetts t Kansas, and every week come in rs ports from Young Men's Christian As sociations, Sunday-schools, boys' club and other organizations interested i " ?1? * i.i? i?... 4-Vi tne wenare ui iiie uuj, wmug uy iu idea and forming patrols.

C course, the military virtues?such a obedience to properly constitute authority, respect for the command of the officers, truth and courageare in the rules and regulations t which they subscribe, and rightly s< Out of the thirty-six badges which Boy Scout may obtain by performin certain services only one is given c a military character. In fact, Bader Powell refers to the Scout mov< ment as "peace scouting." It is character-forming movement for boy who are just at the age ,when the are reaching the two roads, one leac ing to an upright, honorable caree where high ideals are found, th other which leads downward, eve bending away from true attainmer and honorable success.

Columbia, August 10.?Barnard B. f Evans, candidate for attorney general of South Carolina, is again in trou>, ble on account of the non-cashing of i- one of his checks by a local bank. A t warrant has been sworn out for the e arrest of Mr. Evans by Magistrate I James Fowles. The check for $17.75 a was on the bank of Columbia, and i was the money put up with the magis trate pending the settlement of the .1 board bill matter with Wright's hoi. tel. A fon- i^ova nam Mr vvqnc ti*3Q 9r. rested, charged with not paying his board bill. He paid $19 in a check, and claimed this was all that was q due; also turned over the difference 4 between this amount and the $36.75 e to the magistrate in a check pend - ing the hearing of the case. It was a the check for $17.75 which was turne ed down at the bank for lack of d funds. e Under the act of the general asil sembly, passed last year, it is against - the law to give a worthless check, e The drawer has thirty days in which f to make the check good.

The downpour y of last evening made the sewer a t raging torrent and the rats deserted s it in hundreds as they would a doom11 ed ship. Policeman Thomas Benz, of r? the Front and Master streets station e was standing at the corner when a a drove of the rodents scrambled past d him. Benz took a club and started to drive them off the pavement. They 0 turned and, snapping at him, drove d him back toward a wall. Quite a P crowd was attracted by the unusual e battle and it might have ended seriy ously for Benz had not Policeman l~ Coulton come to his assistance. The l" reinforcement was sufficient to turn e the tide and the rats were driven s back into the sewer, g - ? e Powell's book, but adapted to Amerin can conditions. L. The Scouts take the following e pledge: "On my honor I promise that 3. I will do my best to do my duty to e God and my country, to help other o people at all times, to obey the Scout mi ^ C 4."U^ + j- 1-jcIW. 1 lit tfSStJLI LiClliS \JL lliC OUVUl Law are that a Scout's honor is to ig be trusted. A Scout is loyal to his n country, his officers, his employers e and his parents. He must be useful r and help others. A Scout is a friend e to all, and a brother to every other Scout, no matter to what social class e the other belongs. A Scout is courte;s ous, he is a friend to animals, he i- obeys.orders of his parents and ofif ticers. A Scout smiles and whistles g under all circumstances. A Scout is if thrifty." -s There are three classes of Scouts d and the tests are not child's play s by any means. At first a boy is - classed as a Tenderfoot, but even for o this classification he has to be able ). to tie four different kinds of knots a the proper way, to fly the flag, to g know something of its story and the >f Scout laws. The second-class men i- must be able to pass in first aid to the ?- injured and in signaling, to build a a fire with only two matches, to cut s a camp dinner with only the regulay tion billy, to track half a mile in 25 I- minutes, or in town to describe r the contents of one shop window out e of four observed for one minute. >r The test for a first-class Scout emit braces a good knowledge of camping and woodcraft. He must swim fifty d yards, go on foot or row a boat seven l- miles and return, and write a report on the trip. Supposed to take two 1, days, but can in less. In signaling st he must send and receive sixteen l. words per minute, describe the way t of saving life in ordinary accidents, 5t such as drowning, runaway and ice d breaking. This is only a part of the y list, and the boys are on their mettle i! to pass and become first-class Scouts. )- Religion is brought in as a natural ie and not unnatural thing.
